Steve Cohen asks for support and votes from GLBT citizens

GLBT citizens of the Midsouth held the first of two campaign fundraisers for Congressman Steve Cohen (9th District) last night at Stop 345 in Downtown Memphis. Steve supported the Employment Non-Discrimination Act and stronger Hate Crimes legislation in Congress this year. Several TEP members attended the event.

Don't miss Wendi Thomas' column in Sunday's Commercial Appeal about Cohen and his major primary opponent.

During the mid '90's when no politicians would come to a gay event to campaign or speak to our community there was one who was there...Steve Cohen. I never forgot that. He's an important voice for ALL Tennesseans.
